Innovation fund overview

Hello. I'm Dr. Jeanette Young, Queensland's Chief Health Officer.

I'm speaking today to acknowledge the fantastic work of nurses and midwives across the entire state of Queensland. Our nurses and midwives are the core of our state's health service. They care for Queenslanders across the length and breadth of our state. From Badu Island in the Torres to Camooweal and Thargomindah in the far west, all along the Pacific Coast and everywhere in between, you'll find Queensland Health's nurses and midwives caring for our communities.

The Nurses and Midwives EB10 Certified Agreement established a $10 million Innovation Fund to fund projects to develop and implement models of care that are innovative, flexible and which address emergent or unmet healthcare needs with a particular emphasis on the way in which nursing or midwifery-led models can positively address the social determinants of health.

This showcase celebrates the wonderful work of Queensland Health's nurses and midwives and demonstrates the value of nursing and midwifery within our healthcare system. A key criterion of the Innovation Fund was support for projects that progress nursing and midwifery-led models of care. The relationship between patient and nurse or mother and midwife is one of trust and care. The projects of the Innovation Fund place that privileged relationship at the centre with nurses and midwives leading the care of their patient or mother. Those of us who work in healthcare have always known the experience, clinical knowledge, sense of duty, and caring nature within the nursing and midwifery workforce.

The focus that COVID-19 has brought to our healthcare service has highlighted to the public the value that nurses and midwives bring to Queensland Health and our broader health system. This has never been more evident than through our COVID-19 vaccination program, which is reliant on our skilled nurses and midwives across Queensland showing their great willingness to participate in getting our population vaccinated against COVID-19. You are all part of Queensland's front line of defence, making sure as many of our community is protected from this virus for when Queensland has community transmission.

Our nurses and midwives are not just integral to our health system, but our community as well as leaders, role models, and carers. The actions of nurses and midwives in all roles across Queensland directly impacts patients, their experience, and their health outcomes. I'm immensely proud of the Queensland Health nurses and midwives, particularly during 2020 and 2021. As we so often hear, the events of the last 18 months are unprecedented and the contribution of nurses and midwives to support our families, our friends, our people, through all of their interactions in our communities during this time has been ongoing, caring, and courageous.
